Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for January 2013

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for January 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for January 2013 showed reduced sales activity which is mot unexpected as a result of slower activity from the holiday season.  But, we still showed stronger activity than for the past 3 January periods.  All this with an inventory of available homes now down by close to 50% from 2010.

Average and median sales prices were down for January.  The inventory of available homes finally showed a small increase of 49 homes.  This is positive news as the inventory was getting down to a point where there just wasn’t enough choices for willing buyers.  The one month absorption rate for January moved to 8.4 months, while the three-month average rose to 7.4 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we remain in a slight buyers market in Martin County.

February’s’s showing activity remains strong.  Some fairly positive economic data and strong positive Wall Street news should signal continuing positive real estate activity for the next few months.  Currently, I’m seeing issues with short sales as the banks seem to be reading the national statistics of increasing prices and are currently pricing many of their short sales at initially unacceptable levels.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any difficulty interpreting these charts.

The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales. Knowing your area’s Absorption Rate, helps to track trends. Understanding the market and where it is headed is part of our job as real estate professionals. Absorption rate is NOT an exact science. Figuring it is based on the premise that one will be looking for a TREND. It is advised to consistently do the numbers each month, to be able to track a trend.

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  With a significant further decrease in inventory, I don’t see any meaningful market activity coming from this segment in the spring.  For January, good strong closed and pending activity when considering only 19 available condos for sale in this market segment.

The one month absorption rate is down to 4.8 months, signifying a sellers market.  Generally, a 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the seller or buyer.

The January 2012 numbers were:  32 active listings, 3 pending sales and 5 closed sales.  Considering the inventory, the market activity for January of 2013 was better than the same month last year.

For the Palm City, zip code 34990, area of Martin County Florida, the real estate activity slowed again for the second month in a row.  The notable exception was a sizable jump in pending sales.  Providing that the majority of these sales will close in the next few months, we should have an active spring.  Inventory was also up slightly.  Good news as we need a variety of available homes to be on the market to have an active spring market. 

The current absorption rate stands at 10.5 months.  This rate still signifies a buyer’s market.  A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered a balanced market that doesn’t favor either sellers or buyers.

The January 2012 numbers were:  474 active listings, 161 pending sales and 72 closed sales.  Closed sales were considerably better last year.  Even accounting for the higher inventory.

The Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34997 had a fairly slow January to begin 2013.  Sales were off to only 3 units.  On a bit of a brighter note both the inventory and pending sales were up by healthy amounts.  This should result in some added activity for this segment of the market in the coming months.

In the 34996 zip code area of Stuart Florida real estate market activity for January 2013 the most glaring change is a fairly sizable increase in inventory.   Pending sales remained unchanged and closed sales dropped slightly.  If the inventory continues to increase, I expect a very active real estate market in the 34996 zip code area of Stuart.

The one month absorption rate for the 34996 zip code area of Stuart Florida for January jumped to 20 months, which represents a strong buyer’s market.  A balanced market, favoring neither buyer or seller is considered to be around a 6 month absorption rate.

The numbers for January of 2012 were: 190 active listings, 28 pending sales and 6 closed sales.  Very similar numbers from last year to this year.

[singlepic id=3323 w=600 h=600 float=center]

A fairly good month for the Stuart Condo market for zip code 34994.  Not quite as strong as some of the earlier fall moths, but with a slight increase in inventory as well as increases in both pending and closed sales, this segment seems to be holding its own. 

The one month absorption rate is at 10.5 months, which still signifies a buyers market.  Typically a real estate market is considered to be a balanced market with an absorption rate of 6 to 7 months.  Meaning neither the buyers or sellers have an advantage in the real estate market.

Last January the numbers were 154 active listings, 33 pending sales, and 11 closed sales.  Slightly better numbers for this year with a similar inventory.  This should continue through the year.

The 34994 ZIP code area of the Stuart, Florida real estate market is starting 2013 off with mixed signals.  Pending sales are up while the inventory is now down to very low numbers.  Sales were also off from the end of the year.  Of note is the low inventory which will result in slower market activity in the coming months.  The most likely scenario will be a gradual rise in prices to the point that more sellers will place homes on the market.  This will probably play out during the coming year, barring any unforeseen external economic surprises.

The one month absorption rate for the 34994 zip code for January slid back to 12.8 months. which signifies a buyers market.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

The January 2012 numbers were 83 Active Listings, 38 pending sales and 6 closed sales.   Considerably higher inventory.  Other results are pretty much in line for this year from last.
